Gehrig Normand - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Logs full practice Normand (knee) returned to a full practice workload on Friday, Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Normand, who suffered a knee injury in mid-October, was able to return to a full workload during Friday's practice, but he remains a week or more away from game action as MSU prepares to open their season against Monmouth on Monday. The 6-foot-5 freshman, a top-150 prospect in the class of 2023, who took a redshirt last season, is not expected to debut against the Hawks.

Could start practicing next week Michigan State's head coach Tom Izzo said Normand (knee) could start practicing next week, according to Chris Solari of The Detroit Free Press.

Impact Normand's knee injury explains why he did not play during Michigan State's exhibition game at Northern Michigan on Oct. 13. But fortunately for the injured freshman, him possibly practicing as soon as next week gives him at least a slight chance to be available for another exhibition the Spartans have scheduled, this time for Oct. 29 at home against Ferris State.

Plays in foreign tour Normand played for Michigan State in its foreign tour game in Spain, per Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal.

Impact Normand redshirted his freshman season, and is still buried on the depth chart in East Lansing. He reportedly played well and hit a few shots, but there's simply a lot of options at guard and wing for head coach Tom Izzo. Still, it's encouraging to see Normand healthy and contributing after he dealt with a foot injury last season as well.
